Coffee Growing Regions
Africa and Arabia
By most accounts, coffee originated in Africa. Legend has it that coffee was discovered around 800 AD when an Ethiopian goatherd, Kaldi, noticed his herd dancing from one coffee plant to the next, eating the red, coffee cherries. Kaldi tried a few himself and was soon dancing with his goats under its wonderful influence. In Arabia from about 1000 to 1600 AD, the coffee traditions we now share began to take shape. Arabia took great efforts to protect and control the production of coffee. No viable seeds were allowed, and all were made infertile before being exported. It was not until the 17th century that coffee seeds were successfully transported out of the Arabian peninsula. Here again, legend has it that Baba Budan, an Indian, left Mecca with fertile seeds strapped to his belly. This would mark the beginning of coffee's proliferation throughout the world to the growing regions we know today.
There are numerous growing countries in Africa and the Arabian Peninsula; however, some of the finest coffees come from Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanznia and Yemen.
Harvest - October thru December
Within Ethiopia, there are three main growing regions – Harrar, Ghimbi and Sidamo (also known as Yirgacheffe). Almost all coffee in Ethiopia is cultivated on small farms with the exception of some larger, government run estates. Ethiopian coffees are mostly grown under shade and with little to no use of chemicals.
Ethiopian Harrar hails from the eastern part of the country and is dry-processed. They are labeled Mocha or peaberry, longberry or shortberry.
Ghimbi is in the western part of the country. These coffees are wet-processed.
Ethiopian Yirgacheffe or Sidamo is considered to produce some of the finest coffees in the world.
Harvest - October thru March
Kenyan coffee is widely acclaimed. It is grown mostly in the area south of Mount Kenya towards the capital, Nairobi, where it is auctioned every Tuesday during the harvest season. The auction system is relatively unique and has done much to propel a focus on quality, creating a direct link between quality and price. The result is some of the finest coffees available at a fair price. Kenyan coffee is also unique in its grading system. AA is the largest with the smaller, lesser grades labeled A and B.
Harvest - October thru February
Tanzania is most well known for the peaberry. Instead of the coffee cherry pit being comprised of two flat-sided beans, the pit is one, rounded bean known as the peaberry. Tanzanian coffee is mostly grown on Mount Kilimanjaro and Mount Meru and is wet processed. Coffee is graded using the same system as in Kenya: AA, A and B with AA being the largest bean size and the highest quality.
Harvest - June thru December
The coffee traditions of today originate in Yemen, home of perhaps the most historically popular coffee in the world, Mocha. This name was originally an indication of the port in South Yemen from which much coffee was exported. As such the word "Mocha" was commonly added to Arabian coffee names. The port no longer exists since a sandbar closed the inlet. A true Yemen Mocha is grown in the central mountains of the country and dry-processed. Five hundred year old traditions still dominate to produce very special coffees. Yemeni coffee is also part of the first recorded coffee blend - Mocha Java. The two most popular coffees at the time; Mocha number one and Java from what is now Indonesia second. Recently, the term "mocha" has been appropriated for chocolate-flavored, blended coffee drinks which is in no way connected to the historic coffee traditions of Yemen.
Asia and the Pacific
Baba Budan is widely believed to have smuggled the first fertile coffee seeds out of Arabia and into India during his pilgrimage to Mecca in around 1600. However the real growth of coffee in trade outside of Arabia started with the Dutch. In 1699, the Dutch successfully planted the first coffee plants outside of the Arabian Peninsula on the island of Java, once a colony and now a part of Indonesia. The first harvest was sent to Amsterdam in 1706 along with a seedling. It is this very seedling that would become the progenitor of the coffee plant that makes its way to Martinique with Gabriel Mathieu de Clieu via the botanical garden in Paris. A plant that would become the foundation for the majority of coffee in Central and South America.
The Dutch originated or greatly influenced coffee cultivation and trade in Indonesia and Asia. Their initial planting in Java was so successful it was second only to Mocha in Yemen. These two coffees were brought together to create the first recorded coffee blend - Mocha Java. Indeed, a common nickname for coffee today is "java," and the Dutch hand can be felt throughout the region.
Harvest - Octbober - December
Despite the early history of Bada Budan's famous coffee seeds, India today is not well-known to the world for its coffee. Much of the country's coffee industry has been focused on internal consumption rather than export. This changed only in the mid-1800's via the British and recently by specialized importers generating greater awareness for these coffees. As a whole, good Indian coffees tend to be pleasingly mild and well-balanced. On the other hand, Indian Malabar or Indian Monsoon Malabar coffee reflects a drastically different profile in the cup. These coffees are dry processed and then stored in an open warehouse, exposed to monsoon air and wind for 3-4 months. This process was developed to mimic the matured or aged Java coffee that was used as ballast in sailing ships. Their exposure to salt and wood imparted a unique flavor that was sharp, tangy and spicy with low acidity.
Indonesia is an archipelago state - the world's largest, encompassing a land area almost three times the size of Texas. Systematically colonized by the Dutch in the 17th century and later occupied by the Japanese during World War II, the islands finally gained official independence from the Dutch in 1949. It is the 4th largest producer of coffee in the world, and several distinct growing areas are known world-wide for their exceptional coffee.
The Dutch arrived relatively late to the island in 1906. Faced with superior forces marching onto the island, Bali's royal family and loyalists demonstrated their last act of defiance in a mass ritual suicide known as Puputan. The Dutch faced little other resistance and quickly assumed administrative control of the island. Occupied by the Japanese during World War II and now a part of Indonesia, Bali has suffered throughout its history despite its picturesque surroundings. Agriculture and tourism are the main drivers of the economy, although tourism decreased greatly after the 2002 and 2005 terrorist bombings and has yet to fully recover a decade later. With respect to coffee, Bali presents a classic cup with great body. The majority of the coffee is wet-processed. It exhibits the unmistakable earth notes of many Indonesian coffees but with balance and mildness that is special.
In the 19th century, Java experienced a devastating outbreak of rust disease that virtually wiped out the historic coffee industry. The recovery consisted of replacing much of the original Coffea Arabica with disease-resistant Robusta fundamentally altering the coffee tradition begun by the Dutch. However, the Indonesian government has set up sponsored estates that have revived the Dutch practices even to go so far as using the original, well-maintained equipment. These coffees can be quite exceptional.
Sulawesi (Celebes)
This island was formerly known by its Dutch colonial name, Celebes. The majority of specialty coffee comes from the Toraja region in the country's southeastern highlands. A significant portion of the coffee grown, especially by small famers, is processed using a wet-hull method, known as Giling Basah or literally "wet grinding." Used throughout Indonesia, farmers remove the outer skin from the cherries and store the beans still covered in mucilage for up to a day. The beans are removed, washed of their mucilage, and partially dried in the sun to 30-35% moisture. The beans are then hulled by the processor in this semi-wet state. This process plays an integral part in the flavor profile and results in a full-bodied, low-acid coffee with mild earth tones.
Sumatra is arguably one of the best-known, specialty coffees in the world. The finest Sumatra is rich, full and complex with low acidity. Flavor notes include mild earth tones, cocoa and tobacco. As is the case with much of the small farm, grown Indonesian coffees, the wet-hull, Giling Basah process is typical. Much of the flavor and characteristics of Sumatran coffee is attributable to this unique method. Sumatra is often labeled and sold as Sumatra Mandheling. In this case "Mandheling" does not refer to a particular region but to an ethnic group that was once a prominent participant in the island's coffee trade.
Papua New Guinea
Papua New Guinea (PNG) is half an island. It occupies the eastern half, while Irian Jaya, an Indonesian provence, occupies the western half. PNG coffees tend to have less of the earthy tones for which Indonesian coffees are prized but can be delicate and uniquely bright for the region. Most coffees are estate coffees that are meticulously wet-processed. Whether from an estate or small farms, organic certification is prevalent.
After achieving a costly independence from Indonesia in the late 1990's, international aid helped rebuild a renown coffee industry. The results have been mixed, but improving rapidly. When good, coffees from Timor reflect the well-known Indonesian flavor profile - that is they can produce exceptional coffee.
The Americas
In an unusual chain of events that began with the Mayor of Amsterdam gifting a young coffee plant to King Louis XIV of France in 1714, coffee was introduced to the Americas. This gifted tree was planted in the Royal Botanical Garden in Paris. In 1723 a French naval officer, Gabriel Mathieu de Clieu obtained a seedling and set off for Martinique. Sharing his water rations with the coffee plant and protecting it from fellow shipmates, a storm and pirate attack, de Clieu successfully transported and planted his coffee tree in Martinique. By 1726 the tree had grown and multiplied, and the first harvest was ready. By 1777, fifty years later, there were a reported 18 million coffee trees growing on the island and that sole plant became the progenitor of virtually all the coffee plants in Central and South America today. Gabriel Mathieu de Clieu is a coffee hero if there ever was one.
Harvest - April thru September
Brazil is the largest producer of coffee in the world, providing nearly 1/3 of global supply. Its coffees support a wide range of market needs from institutional to specialty roasters. At one time, the industry was heavily regulated with a focus on price competitiveness rather than quality. Based on a quota system, producers mixed high and low-quality beans to reach the quotas. This formed many negative opinions on Brazilian coffee that still linger today. However since deregulation in the 1990's, there has been a renewed focus on quality and some exceptional coffees are being produced in the country. Eighty percent of the coffee produced is Coffea Arabica and most of the specialty coffee is of the bourbon variety and dry processed. As the largest producing country that is subject to frost risk, the impact of frost to diminish yield in Brazil can and have significantly impacted world prices for coffee. The majority of specialty coffee produced in Brazil is between 2,000 and 4,000 feet in elevation. The three main growing regions are in the state of Bahia in the northeast, along the southern and eastern borders of Minas Gerais, Sao Paolo, Espirito Santo and Rio di Janiero and within Sao Paolo and Parana in the south.
Harvest - October thru March
Colombia is the second largest producer of Coffea Arabica in the world. The coffee industry is well-organized around the Colombia Federation of Coffee Growers which has been extremely successfully in consistently producing high-quality coffees and supporting small farmers to market. To achieve this, small farmers are required to wet process their beans which then make their way to Federation mills where they are sorted and graded. The best of these is Supremo followed by Extra. These two are often combined to form another designation, Excelso. These coffees are almost all high-grown milds grown to a very high standard. While a result of this system is that individual nuances of a particular farm are "averaged" out, the overall quality is very high and produces a distinctive cup. Apart from the Federation, there are some private mills in which case a market or regional name is used in place of the standard designations.
Costa Rica
Harvest - September thru February
Costa Rica has developed a mature well-regarded coffee industry and reputation for fine coffee. Unlike the majority of Columbian coffees, Costa Rican coffees are identified by the finca (farm) or estate from which they come. All Costa Rican coffees are wet processed and the standards established here are copied throughout the Americas. Most coffee is grown at a very high altitude of between 3,300 and over 3,900 feet. Strictly hard bean designation is reserved for coffee grown at over 3,900 feet elevation is primarily what we seek out here at Jamaica Coffee Trading Co. The most famous coffee regions are Tarrazu, Tres Rios, Heredia, Alajuela and Volcan Poas.
El Salvador
Harvest - November thru March
Like many other countries in the region, El Salvador has suffered political upheaval and civil war. With fairly recent democratic movements in the past decades, El Salvador is once again growing and consistently delivering fine, specialty coffee. In part, owing to this political instability, there has been little intervention or pressure to introduce hybrid varieties. Instead, traditional varieties of Coffea Arabica such as Bourbon and Pacamara are being grown to good effect on small farms and co-ops.
Harvest - August thru March
About the size of Tennessee, Guatemala offers an astonishingly wide range of climates, resulting in eight growing regions within the country. Each region presents a distinct flavor profile. These are established and administered by the Asociacion Nacional del Cafe (Anacafe). If a coffee from a particular region does not meet the respective flavor profile, it cannot be marked with the regional designation. The eight regions include Acatenango Valley, Antigua Coffee, Traditional Atitlán, Rainforest Cobán, Fraijanes Plateau, Highland Huehue, New Oriente and Volcanic San Marcos. While all of these regions produce exceptional coffee, perhaps the most well-regarded comes from Antigua, a valley surrounded by three volcanoes. With nearly perfect conditions, coffee from this region is grown between 4,600 − 5,600 feet in elevation. Its complexity and range within the unmistakable flavor profile are what make this a special origin.
Hawaii - Kona
Harvest - September thru November
Kona coffee can be very special and very expensive. Although grown at altitudes of only 800 to 2,500 feet on Mount Hualalai and Mauna Loa, Kona coffee asserts itself as well as any coffea arabica grown at the expected higher altitudes. Clusters of small farms hand-pick and wet-process all Kona coffee on the Big Island. At its best, Kona represents a very classic cup - mild, clean and balanced through the finish. It rewards with that ideal of what coffee can be.
Harvest - October thru March
Since Hurricane Mitch in 1998, Honduras and its people have suffered tremendously. A nascent coffee industry was all but devastated after the 1998 hurricane and the subsequent flooding. However, the country has much to recommend it with respect to an ideal coffee growing environment, including rich soil, high altitude and an ideal coffee-growing climate. This has led to renewed interest and a small collective of growers and investors are helping to boost infrastructure and build up the industry. As it grows, there are very good coffees coming from the country and we anticipate many more to come.
Harvest - August thru September
Jamaica is most well known for the exclusive Jamaica Blue Mountain Coffee which is in the eastern part of the country between Kingston and Port Antonio. The different classifications center around elevation. True Jamaica Blue Mountain is grown between 3,000 and 5,500 feet. Jamaica High Mountain designates coffee grown between 1,500 and 3,000 feet and Jamaica Supreme or Jamaica Low Mountain below 1,500 feet. Jamaica has a long and bumpy coffee history that began in 1728 shortly after the success of the first coffee transplant in the Americas in Martinique. Many find it hard to justify the price in relation to the cup experience. It is a mild coffee with a lower bean density that requires some careful coaxing in the early stages of roasting. The three most popular names (mills) are Mavis Bank, Wallenford and Old Tavern. Take care when purchasing a Jamaican coffee. If you are paying top dollar, make sure it is 100% Jamaica Blue Mountain.
Harvest - October thru March
Mexico is the eighth largest producing country globally and one of the largest producers of certified organic coffee. Even so, most coffee is grown in small farms numbering over 100,000. Its main growing regions are the states of Veracruz, Oaxaca and Chiapas located in the south central and southern areas of the country, extending south to the border with Guatemala. Generally, Mexican coffees are mild and light-bodied with delicate flavors that can vary nicely in the cup, depending upon the region. The southern most Chiapas region, bordering Guatemala exhibits some of the same characteristics as their neighbor's. Due to its mild nature, Mexican coffees are often used as the base for blends and darker roasts. When you see the Altura designation, you know that it is high-grown.
Harvest - November thru February
Nicaragua is the poorest country in Central America and the second poorest country in the world. Its people have struggled. Politics, revolution, natural disasters have all conspired against the Nicaraguan coffee industry for the last four decades and it is only now beginning to recover and become known again in the specialty coffee world. Sandwiched between Honduras to the north and Costa Rica to the south, Nicaragua, in terms of climate and terrain, has all the right environment to grow exceptional coffee. The main growing regions are Segovia, Matagalpa and Jinotega.
Harvest - October thru December
Located between Costa Rica to the west and Columbia to the east, Panama's small family farms are producing unique and delicious coffees. The majority of the best coffee is grown in the Boquete area in the Chirqui District. The coffees are grown on small family-owned farms by traditional methods and are shade-grown. These growing practices combined with advanced processing methods yield coffees that distinct from their neighbors and deliciously complex. Add a working environment that is one of the best in Central America in terms of wages and worker protection, and it is easy to feel good about the coffees of Panama.
Harvest - April thru October
The Peruvian coffee industry has focused on certified organic coffees, grown for volume and competitiveness. Generally mild and light bodied, Peruvian coffees make a good base for blends, darker roast and flavored coffees. The very best coffees come from the high Andes in the Chanchamayo Valley as well as Norte and Cuzco to the south.

Simply lovely dress by 'Go to patterns'
Our summer has been hot and sticky and right now it's just plain humid, so this dress has been a go-to weekend dress that lets me stay cool. It kept me cool on a Sunday shopping at Cabramatta (the Saigon of Sydney) recently with some of the Sydney's Spoolettes. Yes - we fabric shopped after a great Vietnamese lunch.
I did some thinking about the upper body support for this dress but resolved that by keeping the neckline high so I could feel comfortable. I have very few strappy dresses in my wardrobe. See how the armhole curve gives great cover?
The skirt width calculation provided for the skirt is easy to understand and make. It certainly worked for me. The pockets are just the right size to keep your keys in. I raised the pocket placement by 2.5cm.
This print is on a white background and I chose it because of the abstract print and cool colours. The fabric is just thick enough to not need lining.
I've used white bias binding for the necklines and the tie is made from the dress fabric. So elastic and bias binding are the only notions I used. You don't need to add the bias binding. It's that easy and simply lovely.
Did you know they have a lovely maxi dress for summer too?
The long shadows show DH taking these photos as the sun was setting along the river.
He's the evening version soon.

- 17 March 2014 at 10:40:00 GMT+11
You're too kind. I bet there's a Liberty print that would work well with this style.
- 17 March 2014 at 10:41:00 GMT+11

|The importance of a consistent message.
If you read me regularly, you already know through my blog I've always defended the client's side, and I will continue doing it.
Several reasons exist for this, out of which the most important one is that your business depends on your clients and if they don't have a positive experience with you, they will go with the competition. Really simple.
I don't think I can put it in a simpler way. Whatever you do, regardless of the money you invest, the platform being used and the format you choose, if you can't generate a positive customer experience, your clients will take their business somewhere else.
Your message should be, above all, consistent.
This article is a follow up to the previous one in which I shared with you my experience with the technician who repaired my computer. I got motivated to write this post as one day, looking for the technician's mobile phone to call her and ask what the status of my computer was, I got into their company's website and got struck by the beautiful things they write regarding their commitment to satisfy their customers and offer the best service, excellent response times, and so on. You know how it goes!
While reading it, I said to myself: "Look at it. How funny this is!: I've been trying to get my laptop repaired for over three months now and these people here said that their mission is to offer customers the best of services. "
How I felt at that moment? It was a mix between feeling deceived, disappointed and willing to scream to the world "Yes, those who say they offer the best service in the world, really leave you hanging when you need them the most and wash their hands as Pilate did. Talk about being inconsistent! On one hand they say one thing and do the opposite on the other side "
Your facts will confirm what you say with words.
How many times has this happened to you? How many times have you found yourself doing business with a company that promises the moon and stars before doing business with you and, once the agreement or the sale is closed, just forget all the promises they made.
In this case, it's clear how important is to be consistent with what we say, and not promise more than we can truly deliver. What you say must be corroborated by what you do. It's simple and doesn´t have any fine print.
If your website states that your commitment is to give all your customers a smile when they get to your counters, make sure it does happen like that. And if you have an employee who does not understand the reasons why he's got to give your customers a smile as they approach the counter, explain him that, above all, your company wants to fulfill each and every one of the promises it makes to its customers and that one of them is giving them a smile as they approach the counter.
Could it be that we are getting used to "paper can hold everything"?
Does it continue to be important for all of us to fulfill the promises we make in writing in our promotional materials or on our website? Could it be that we don't care that much if a customer feels frustrated about our service, as I did feel, when he realizes that what we promise and what we deliver are two different things?
Maybe at some point you have been tempted to excuse yourself by saying something like, "Everybody does it", or perhaps something like, "That's just advertising", or even worst "It's simply marketing." Perhaps you still have a 1.0 mentality and think that your client is not going to react negatively against your business when you stop honoring your promises.
Providing a positive customer experience should be part of your corporate culture.
Gone are the days when customers were not important for businesses. Competition is in all segments. Options exist in all industries. No company in the world can say to be the "one-and-only" in any specific market. No one!
Understanding that your business depends on your customers will be key for you to realize how important the product or service experience you can deliver to your customer, and also understand why your message has to be consistent throughout all platforms and forms you use to communicate with your client.
It is necessary to leave aside the mentality of "I'd say anything to close the sale" and concentrate on something else, perhaps "I fulfill what I promise so that my client is happy and always does business with me".
Don't you think it would be a better way of doing things and, above all, more productive?

If you want to become a spa manager, you first need to determine if this career path is a good fit for you. If the following description sounds like you, then you're probably well suited for a career as a spa manager:
Those who become spa managers are typically passionate about the spa industry. They enjoy working with people, and they are comfortable directing the work of others. Spa managers must have strong leadership skills, and must be willing to take responsibility for the success or failure of the business they operate.
Spa managers can work in health or beauty spas, and they manage the daily operations including personnel, finances, marketing, and the services offered. Spa mangers are responsible for the day-to-day operations of health or beauty spas. They manage a spa's finances, employees and services. Spas can differ greatly in size, from small privately owned boutiques to large health spas located in resorts and hotels.
In many smaller spas, managers often perform business tasks, as well as working directly with customers providing select spa services. In large spas, a manager's duties are often concentrated on the business itself and may have assistants that deal with employees and customers.
Duties of a spa manager vary according to the services provided by the spa. Many of the tasks are business-related and can include recordkeeping, conducting promotional campaigns, maintaining stock inventories and payroll management
Employee-related responsibilities of a spa manager typically include the hiring, training and supervision of staff. Mangers typically create weekly work schedules, train new employees and arrange staff workshops on new techniques and procedures.
The educational requirements to become a spa manager can vary widely from employer to employer. Some employers may require their spa managers to have a bachelor's degree in a field such as management, human resources or a related field, while some employers may not require candidates to have any post-secondary education at all.
Typically, employers prefer to hire candidates for spa management positions that have post-secondary education, such as a diploma or a degree in an area related to spa management, human resources or similar fields.
In order to be effective in a career as a spa manager, you need to possess certain skills. These skills will not only help you attain a certain level of competence in your work, they will also help you maintain a positive attitude towards your job, and help you endure the ups and downs of this career.
•Computer proficiency
•Strong written and verbal communication skills
•Excellent organization skills
•Excellent interpersonal skills
•Ability to interact with guests and staff with a positive demeanor
•Strong leadership skills
•Able to supervise and direct the work of others
•Knowledgeable about the spa industry
Spa managers are hired on a part-time, full-time, or contractual basis by a variety of different types of spas, including:
•Hotels and resorts
•Health clubs
•Cruise ships
•Therapeutic salons

Thanks Naresh for writing your comment ..
You will be surprised to know that Andaz Apna Apna was not accepted by the audience in the year of its release. It was only a below average earner. But now it is known as a cult comedy from Bollywood. Thats the show world and its uncertain outcomes.
Keep visiting and writing in.......Cheers!

In a volatile market, a strong risk management strategy is to diversify an investment portfolio with different asset classes. You already know the potential of stocks, now consider adding balance with bonds. They are a great way to hedge against market volatility as they typically trend in the opposite direction of stocks.
Not completely sold? We offer other fixed-income investing products: guaranteed investment certificates (GICs) and term deposits.
How do I trade bonds and GICs?
To trade bonds and GICs, call the Questrade trade desk at 1.866.980.9590. The daily trade deadline for bonds is 4:00 PM ET. The daily trade deadline for GICs is 1:45 PM ET.
Bonds are essentially a loan to an organization with a pre-set coupon (return) rate and maturity date. GICs and term deposits are guaranteed investments, with set terms and interest rates.
Bonds, GICs and term deposits all have a pre-determined coupon or interest rate. With bonds, your money isn't guaranteed. They are generally a safer way to invest, but there is always some risk attached. However, your money is guaranteed with a GIC or term deposit.
Their price is dependent on a variety of factors: maturity, face value, rating as well as supply and demand.

Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 167354
Review Request: amavisd-new
Last modified: 2014-03-10 08:52:54 EDT
Spec Name or Url: http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/amavisd-new/amavisd-new.spec

amavisd-new is a high-performance and reliable interface between mailer
(MTA) and one or more content checkers: virus scanners, and/or
Mail::SpamAssassin Perl module. It is written in Perl, assuring high
reliability, portability and maintainability. It talks to MTA via (E)SMTP
or LMTP, or by using helper programs. No timing gaps exist in the design,
which could cause a mail loss.
Must remember to check these things *before* I submit a package...

the demo programs amavisd-{agent,nanny} need a patch to look the db in the
proper directory (/var/spool/amavisd/db)
I'll attach it.
Created attachment 118977 [details]
Correct the db directory for amavisd-agent and amavisd-nanny
I've applied the patch. Thanks.
and what about adding the amavisd-release program ?
It allow to resend quarantined mail, the author explains how to use it,
(I hope the link will work...)
Even if it's included enabling quarantine is probably a bad idea for Fedora. Tag
suspicious mail, ask sender to retry if you've got a doubt, and dump everything
Quarantine is IMHO inadequate for small systems. Big organisations can justify
quarantine management and will enable it in the conf file but the Fedora default
should be off.
Thank you very much for this package. I've been testing it (on x86-64, FWIW) and
it works well.
I note that /etc/amavisd/amavisd.conf mentions:
# see amavisd.conf-default for a list of all variables with their defaults;
# see amavisd.conf-sample for a traditional-style commented file;
These files are provided in the tar.gz in the src.rpm, but are not included in
the RPM.
Personally, I'd prefer to see them in the RPM (they do provide worthwhile
documentation), but some sort of consistency might be nice.
BTW I've been testing with selinux disabled (for other reasons). Is this package
selinux-safe ? Anyone tested it with the new security rules wich landed in
rawhide recently ?
http://ftp.kspei.com/pub/steve/rpms/amavisd-new-2.3.3-4.src.rpm has a couple of
extra %doc entries (TODO and amavisd.conf-*).
As for selinux, I have no idea. It has been broken enough in FC4 that I am
running all my servers either in permissive mode or with selinux disabled
entirely, unfortunately.
That's why I asked about this. I fear no one is testing it and people will need
it to work later.
Unfortunately, one of the things that stops me from going into enforcing mode is
I haven't figured yet how to authorize the fact my postfix listens on port 24,
so if I go into enforcing mode postfix goes down (and I can't test amavis)
I think that the kind guys from fedora-selinux list may assist you on modifying
the policy so as to allow running postfix on port 24.
If you have selinux-policy-targeted-sources installed, try adding a line to
portcon tcp 24 system_u:object_r:smtp_port_t
and then do:
make -C /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy load
Thanks for the tip.
However I fear I may have other selinux problems lurking (squirrelmail) so I
won't touch it before I have the time to put everything right.
Also, I'd rather understand the system before meddling with the security policies ;)
I'm running a pretty unmodified (but "yum update"d) FC4 with current (FC4)
SELinux enabled in enforcing targeted mode. I haven't configured Postfix beyond
installing amavisd and changing some of the main.cf parameters.
As I say, it's all working well for me.
Well I switched postfix from port 24 to 587 which is more traditional and
victory it's in the default redhat selinux policy
*HOWEVER* selinux still blocked postfix this time when it tried to bind on the
port used to talk to amavis (port 10026 on my box, dunno if your current package
makes the same choice)
So it seems amavisd is not selinux safe in fedora devel

You need to take this to fedora-selinux-list now. Dan Walsh hangs out there and
will probably work with you to get the Fdeora SELinux policy fixed so that this
works. That's how I got SELinux support for my Extras pptp package included in
Fedora Core.
I've just applied the latest selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.1 from FC4
updates. And it's broken my amavisd install...
Selinux problems are fixed in Raw Hide. Package works very well for me so far.
Are there no perl gurus available to approve it ?
(In reply to comment #19)
> I've just applied the latest selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.1 from FC4

Its fixed in rawhide. Report to this to bugzilla and request a policy update.
Starting amavisd: Problem in the Amavis::Unpackers code: Archive::Zip version
1.14 required--this is only version 1.12 at (eval 46) line 20.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at (eval 46) line 20.
Just as a start i havent done a full check on the package yet.
Latest selinux-policy-targeted-1.27.1-2.14.noarch fixes it: thanks.
A new perl-Net-Server will be pushed to FE soonish. Please test
And while I'm a it, I've updated perl-Convert-UUlib too
(still happily running Steve's original package 24h/24 7j/j since last september
at least without any hitch - can't anyone approve this?)
Since there are no obvious showstoppers in this bug ticket, I'll review this:

You know you could have done that yourself, right?
Thanks Tom.
Ville: I'm not going to approve a perl package which processes insecure data. At
least not before taking a few perl tutorials/courses first. You can call me
paranoïd if you like, but perl is very low in my trust scale, and I don't know
it enough to do an educated evaluation.
(and yes I'm ready to trust my own data to a package I wouldn't approve - but
then I've been running rawhide for more years I care to remember now)
when updating from your first to your last rpm, I noticed amavisd is restarted
[root@cdc ~]# rpm -Uhv /usr/src/redhat/RPMS/noarch/amavisd-new-2.3.3-4.noarch.rpm

I haven't seen that error before. Had you been using the old rpm, or did you
just have it installed?
For that matter, do you know which old rpm you were using?
How about pushing the current version to FE so everyone can use the same
reference package ? Then we can forget about the pre-inclusion versions
I used the first rpm you put up, had that error and then found your latest rpm,
and did a rpm -U.
An strace ends with problems for BDB and "Destroy". But I did install the FE
BerkeleyDB rpm as well.
My guess was this could be some missing perl dependancy, but I cannot figure out
the package that would be missing.
One additional note, I don't think it should matter, but this is within a xen2
FC4 xenu
I'm still trying to debug this and get amavisd-new running. Looking a bit
further into my db error, I noticed:
["DBI:SQLite:dbname=$MYHOME/sql/mail_prefs.sqlite", '', ''] );
Howeverm there is no 'sql' directory included with amavisd-new in the rpm.
Perhaps either the sqlite depedancy needs to be dropped, or this file needs to
be included?
also, there is a note saying:
#NOTE: create directories $MYHOME/tmp, $MYHOME/var, $MYHOME/db manually
However, $MYHOME/var is not created by the rpm.
I finally found the reason for my failure, which is the following line:
$enable_db = 1
checking the build shipped config file shows:
[root@cdc amavisd]# grep enable_db
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/amavisd-new-2.3.3/amavisd.conf:$enable_db = 1;
# enable use of BerkeleyDB/libdb (SNMP and nanny)
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/amavisd-new-2.3.3/amavisd.conf:$enable_global_cache = 1;
# enable use of libdb-based cache if $enable_db=1
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/amavisd-new-2.3.3/amavisd.conf-default:# $enable_db = 0;
/usr/src/redhat/BUILD/amavisd-new-2.3.3/amavisd.conf-sample:$enable_db = 1;
# enable use of BerkeleyDB/libdb (SNMP and nanny)
= 1; # enable use of libdb-based cache if $enable_db=1
So I believe it did ship with $enable_db=1
So either this functionality is broken, or more likely, something else needs to
happen that I have not yet done, but which was already dont on the server of the
rpm builder.
Please open a new bug if you can reproduce the problem with 2.3.3-5 when it
comes out of the build system.

Broken Leg Doesn't Stop Biker From Wharf Rat Rally
DIGBY — Perhaps nobody was more excited about attending this year's Wharf Rat Rally than Dave Balderson.
The biker from Gananoque, Ont., broke a leg getting here — literally.
His Harley Davidson blew a tire on a highway in Quebec near Riviere-du-Loup and he ended up pinned under his bike, breaking the fibula in his left leg.
Balderson, leader of the Ontario River Rats biker group, continued to ride, finally getting medical treatment at the Digby General Hospital upon arrival Tuesday.
"I like it down here," he said leaning on a wooden walking stick Wednesday. "The people treat us well, not just here, but in all of Nova Scotia."
This town of 2,100 people will blossom into about 50,000 as bikers and motorcycle enthusiasts from around the country and beyond gather for the largest rally of its kind in Atlantic Canada. It started on Wednesday and runs through the Labour Day Weekend.
Balderson attends many rallies throughout the year, but has a special affection for this one.
On Tuesday night, a complete stranger brought a spaghetti and garlic bread supper to the group of 10 River Rat bikers, here for the rally. Hearing about his crash and broken leg, someone offered him a private room. Another local man offered his car.
"You don't get that kind of treatment anywhere else," Balderson said. "We feel welcome here. … It's like coming home."
The biker group also goes by the name of Henry's Ontario Boys, in recognition of octogenarian Henry Hubbards who let the group stay at his Digby home every year, until he died last April.
The bikers came to his funeral and Balderson spoke at the service and other bikers were pallbearers.
"We come for the roads, the people and the food," said biker Doug Wood of Kingston, Ont.
Last year's event drew close to 50,000 people and about 24,000 bikes of all makes, sizes, shapes, ages and colours.
The rally is a huge boon to the local economy, generating about $10 million in revenue for surrounding businesses. It's now the largest tourist event in Southwest Nova Scotia.
"Even though it's just a five-day festival, I've had business owners tell me if it wasn't for the rally, they would probably either shut down or really struggle for the rest of the winter," said Digby Mayor Ben Cleveland.
In the spirit of the event, Cleveland got his motorcycle licence a few months ago.
"Local businesses count on this rally to boost their bottom line and get them through to next spring," he said, amid the 80 or more vendors set up on the downtown's Water Street.
"The exposure right across North America for Digby is tremendous, too."
Bob Eisener can attest to that. The owner of the Siesta Motel in town said his 15 rooms are booked years in advance for this event.
"I've had people calling me every day for the past two months looking for rooms.
"They'd be pretty hard to find right now," he said, as motorcyclists continued to ride into town.
He said bikers who come to the rally are generally between 45 and 60 and have money to spend.
The event, organized by more than 100 volunteers, is now on most bikers' must-attend lists.
Over the next four days, there will be bike raffles, parades, displays, guided tours, organized daily bike rides, whale watching tours, time trials and even a tattoo competition. And there's a show-and-shine contest, a rat bike tourney and an LED bike challenge.
A highlight for many will be the Harley Davidson display near the waterfront, where the famed motorcycle company from Milwaukee will unveil its 2014 models in conjunction with its 110th anniversary celebrations.
Lucky wharf rats will get demo rides on the new bikes.
"That's very exciting," said rally chairman Glenn Dunn, a local businessman and avid biker for the past 40 years.
Plans are already underway for a special event on the 10th anniversary of the rally next year, he added.
Peter Robertson was one of the founding members of the rally in 2003. He now lives in Alberta, but comes home every year for this event.
"I didn't think it would get so big so fast," he said.
That first year drew 35 bikers, he said. "This event has really taken off."

Iran fails to edge past US in FIVB Volleyball World League
The national Iranian men's volleyball team has lost to the United States, accepting its second consecutive defeat at the Fédération Internationale de Volleyball (FIVB) World League 2016.
On Friday, the Iranian side, which had captain Saeid Marouf, Milad Ebadipour, Shahram Mahmoudi, Mohammad Mousavi, Adel Gholami, Mohammad Javad Manavinejad and Mehdi Marandi, in its initial lineup for the Pool B fixture at Carioca Arena 1 indoor stadium of Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, conceded a 1-3 (25-23, 13-25, 25-27 and 24-26) defeat to the reigning champion.
The Iranian volleyball players started the match energetically, and presented neat serves and attacks to go on earning points and finally close the set at 25-23.
The outcome of the first set in favor of Iran prompted an immediate reaction from the US team.
The Americans then took the game to the wire as the match progressed into the second set. They established domination on court and closed the second set off at 25-13.
The Iranian squad tried to fight back in the third set and almost caught up in the score, but the American volleyball players could grab the set 27-25 at last.
The US team maintained its composure and lead into the fourth set, and went on racking up points to finally clinch a 26-24 victory.
Matthew Anderson of the United States topped the scorers' chart of the breathtaking match with 23 points. Iran's Shahram Mahmoudi accumulated 16 points for his side.
"We played better than last match, but we still have to improve some details. I liked the way that the team behaved after losing the second set. We had some opportunities to win the fourth set, but we did not," Iran coach Raul Lozano said after the match.
"We had a beautiful game tonight. The biggest thing was the serve reception, and that we did better than Iran team. That is why we won. It was an amazing match by Anderson. He is our star. He carried us, and we rode him all way to victory. It was nice to see him rebound after last night's match, which was not a great match. But, tonight he came back and was in a great form," US captain David Lee said.
Brazil used a service storm over Iran on June 16 to win 3-0 (25-19, 25-16, 28-26) in the opening match of the FIVB Volleyball World League 2016.
Iran men's national volleyball team is scheduled to play against Argentina on Saturday in its third Pool B match.

Hi, do you need 1 ticket or 2 tickets? You'll get 2 tickets for that recreation off the ticket exchange offering you might have two purple memberships, but will probably be virtually not possible to get two together. A direct debit lite purple membership is when it is mechanically renewed each season, and a lite crimson membership is when you must renew it manually.
Worldtravelexpert: Thanks in your remark. Sure, sadly Switzerland is a very expensive place but with some careful planning a lot of money can be saved. Relating to travelling by train or some other public transportation I recommend that travelers who intend to take a number of trips or costly cable cars purchase a half-fare ticket for CHF 165.00. It's legitimate for one yr and most tickets can be purchased with a 50% rebate which adds up very quickly. Also the Junior or Grandchild journey card which allows youngsters to journey free if accompanied by their dad and mom or grandparents is an efficient funding at only CHF 30.00 per little one/per 12 months.
System bids could come out a few times a yr. A pilot bids on a place or seat (captain, first officer, or flight engineer), a airplane (B727, DC10, and so on.) and a base (the purpose the place the pairings originate and end). So the junior pilot, on prime of being on reserve, will likely be on the least desirable airplane, in the least desirable seat, and at least fascinating base. A new hire may begin off as a flight engineer on the B727 in another country, whereas a senior pilot could be a captain on a B777 based someplace good, perhaps LAX or SFO if you happen to like the west coast. Beats Chicago.

Blood of Kittens started with a host of rumors. The rumors are here but the site is running really slow. Some notable rumors are:
- A mechanical dragon (flyer)
- They replaced the dreadnought (WTF?)
- CSM and Cultists are the only troops
- Cultist Marines are elites with named characters unlocking them as troops
- Typhus makes cultists zombies
- Deamons gone
- Traitor Guard in
- Not a big change from 5th (more rumors will come when they fix the server issues)
- Dragon is a new unit (1 of 2)
- Second new unit is a dreadknight
- Dreadnought is there with a new name and new rules
- Hardcover book available
- Concepts from Warhammer magic taken into 6th
- They have "Lore Equivalents"
- Psychic powers will be random
- New ways to construct armies (like fantasy)
- FOC gone?
The 6th Ed rules look strange but these rumors weren't anything new. They were floating around for a while. Just look like they are making a re-appearance. I still believe that the leaked rules were legit. I also liked them.
All in all. We have a month or two to determine what is up with 6th Ed. Maybe 4 months till we know what is up with Chaos. Next month is either the month of fliers or it's not. I think if that comes through, it will give more cred to the BoK rumors. Either way, I am prepping my Black Templar for NOVA and Blobs is up in the air. I will need to see what is happening with 6th Ed.
Have fun with the rumors all.

It's good, they say, to be King. But despite the raiment – or at least the name – of royalty, it's not necessarily a good time for the Monarch Butterfly (Danaus plexippus), the widely-recognized orange and black flier perhaps best known for her annual migrations across North America (and mobs of individual butterflies that occasionally cover trees, camouflaging the foliage in a cloak of brilliant crimson). With numbers falling from over one billion in the 1990's to 35 million in 2014, flutters of the migrating insects, once an anticipated Spring and Autumn event, is in danger of becoming no more than the flitter of a few stragglers following unseen routes of generations past.
Last month (on the final day of the year, at that!), the US Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) initiated the first steps in the process that could ultimately list the Monarch as a threatened or endangered species. While the worldwide, overall population of the butterfly species continues to be relatively healthy (although under environmental pressure and not as abundant as they once were), the concern comes from the decline in butterflies traveling to and from North America – numbers dropping 96.5 percent over the past few decades – and what this fall in Autumn and Spring visitors could mean not only in pretty butterflies visiting our gardens, but directly linked to the food you and I eat; crops grown for livestock; and the same gardens planted for their beauty that could actually be leading to the Monarchs' decline.
As far back as anyone can research, the Monarch has migrated between central North America – primarily the American Midwest – and the forests of Mexico. (There are also eastern populations that follow the Gulf Coast and move into the Mid-Atlantic area; and an unique western group that only flies between California and neighboring western US and Mexican states. Californians have always been a little different). But one thing that makes the Monarch migrations special, is they are the only insect that moves both ways – in the Spring and Fall – one of the longest migrations of any animal. And on the return trip, each individual has never made that journey before yet instinctively recognizes the way. (As we know, once the butterfly lays its eggs it dies, and newly born butterflies are the ones that have to make the return).
Despite these herculean achievements, the Monarch depends upon one food source both as a larvae and adult: The Milkweed (genus Asclepias) which once was common within North America and may have actually been among the most numerous of all 'weeds'. Just as the name implies milkweed is considered a weed (despite the 'milk' part, which is a bit redeeming); and farmers hate weeds. So do livestock, which usually don't eat the plants, and if they do it sometimes makes the cattle sick. So much are these plants despised massive attempts to remove every weed are undertaken including mowing, burning, cutting, and poisoning to keep the land clear for crops like corn, wheat, hay and grains. And that leaves the adult Monarch very little to eat as it makes it's journey; and nothing for the larva ('caterpillar') Monarch to eat as it grows. For that matter it doesn't even leave any place for the larvae to live, as Monarchs only lay eggs on the Milkweed. To make it more convenient for the larva to get a meal, you see.
Of course in gardens throughout America there are millions of Milkweed plants, many purposely positioned to attract the Monarch and give them a good home. But the most common milkweed sold in nurseries and garden centers is not the native milkweed the butterflies need (Asclepias incarnata), that produces subdued white and pastel flowers and dies off each year; but a foreign species (Asclepias curassavica) that grows year-round, exhibiting colorful pink, red and orange blossoms. Unfortunately the protozoan parasite Ophryocytis elektroscirrha (OE) grows on milkweed. Once eaten, it can cause wing deformities, infection and ultimately kills the butterfly (it seems this one-food diet might not have been the wisest choice for the monarch. But it probably sounded good at the time). In normal conditions, any ill monarch would die before passing on the parasite and the milkweed itself, along with its parasitic hangers-on, would die during the winter and fresh, parasite-free plants would grow in the Spring, with no ill effects to newly-hatched larvae. But as foreign milkweed grows all year – harboring the parasite – illness is just passed from one Monarch generation to another; and some Monarch populations, particularly in mild climates like the Gulf and Pacific Coasts, are abandoning migration to remain among the year-round milkweed. They think they've got it made, when they are slowly extinguishing their species.
Intense logging in Mexican forests; climate change; intensive use of resilient pesticides; and even severe storms are other challenges this little insect must face (with a body mass less than a penny, over 500 million were killed in severe winter storms of 2002). But by the simple effort of not disturbing native milkweed, particularly if the plants are along ditches, empty fields, and other un-farmed areas; and buying and planting the natural flower in our own gardens, is something every one of us can do to help save the Monarch. We might not be kings – but with just a little planning, we can all help the King of Butterflies continue to reign.
Michonne Says: The flutter-byes eat the milk-flowers and the flowers make them sick? That is very sad. Sometimes I eat flowers all day from when I wake up until it's time to go back underground (except for nap-times of course, I only dream of flowers then), and later I don't feel so well either. And I wasn't even eating milk-flowers.

Two former bank advisors have joined FINRA's hall of shame.
The two—Tammy C. Petersen, a former advisor with Bank of America in Newport News, Va., and Matthew Roger Quinn, an ex-broker with Fifth Third Securities in Cincinnati—were banished from the industry late last month for allegedly stealing money from customers. The two join nine other registered reps barred by FINRA so far this year.
According to FINRA's filing, Petersen allegedly stole a total of $107,378 from four customers. FINRA claims that on Jan. 8, 2014, she facilitated a wire transfer of $48,689 from a customer's Merrill Lynch brokerage account to one of several bank accounts she controlled and then used the money for her own use and benefit. She did the same with a different customer, pilfering another $48,689 on March 7, 2014, FINRA said.
In addition, on Feb. 5, 2014, she is said to have facilitated the transfer of $5,000 from a third customer's bank account to her own bank account. Then, two days later she purportedly struck again, transferring $5,000 from another customer's bank account to her own.
When reached by phone, Petersen declined to comment. In her settlement with FINRA, she neither admitted nor denied the charges but consented to an entry of FINRA's findings.
Bill Halldin, a spokesman for Merrill Lynch, declined to comment on Peterson's expulsion from the industry but noted that the firm fully compensated all affected clients.
Peterson, who was registered with Merrill Lynch, was dismissed from the firm in November of 2014, according to FINRA.
The other broker—Quinn of Fifth Third Securities—was barred for allegedly withdrawing funds from three elderly bank customers, ages 76, 86 and 89. FINRA did not disclose how much was withdrawn.
According to his BrokerCheck report, Quinn was dismissed from Fifth Third Securities in October of 2013 on suspicions that he stole funds from bank clients in his capacity as a teller at Fifth Third Bank.
Quinn failed to cooperate with FINRA's investigation, refusing to appear for testimony, behavior that automatically leads to a bar, the regulator said.
Quinn did not respond to an email sent to them via BrightScope Advisor Pages, an online directory for financial advisors. He could not otherwise be reached for comment. In his settlement with FINRA, Quinn neither admitted nor denied the charges but consented to an entry of FINRA's findings.
Larry S. Magnesen, a spokesperson for Fifth Third Bank, declined to comment, saying that the bank does not comment on litigation matters.
